Heaving Dead Cats is a skeptical freethought atheist blog to dispel ignorance and enlighten the mind. Yeah, it’s a strange name, but it’s actually pretty popular.

Yes, it’s true that we’d like to stand on our own as an event, and distinguish ourselves as ‘not just a counter-event.’ However, in order to establish this difference, we need …

It’s a fun excuse to play dress up for many religious people and non-theists alike. We’re talking about free candy here, folks. Zombies and free candy. Right on. Just to catch everyone …
The free festival on Fort Bragg's Main Post Parade Field was a massive success! Expect updates, highlights, and other footage over the next few months.
